What does "take responsibility for a mistake" even mean when it comes to a CEO? Most recent examples of a CEO "taking responsibility" for mistakes that I can think of all involve them looking visibly sad on camera, sending an all-hands E-mail telling people how seriously they are taking things, and of course, laying off a bunch of lower-level employees. Occasionally, they also quit with a $XX million golden parachute, off to be CEO at another company. You can't just say the magic incantation "I take full responsibility" and leave it at that. |

A decent rule of thumb is that if someone has to overtly say "I take full responsibility", they aren't taking full responsibility.
